<p> We've had gen sets at 11,000 ft and way below zero start on
propane for decades without using the block or water heaters.
Ridiculous electric heating loads on the other hand are a very bad
idea off grid. Just make sure the propane supply lines are large
enough so the pressure regulator doesn't freeze up.<br>

Yes, the Cummins technician that commissions our generators
insists that locations with consistent low\u2019s below 15F require the
coolant heater. All but two of my installs(outdoor) have omitted
connecting the heater, and have seen some brief sub-0 temperatures
but generally average mid-30s. One of the two that does have the
heater connected, is located at a high elevation telecom site, and
when I serviced the system after not being there for a couple of
winters, it was found that someone had shut off both the battery
charger circuit and the coolant heater circuit and the generator
didn\u2019t seem worse for the wear, and no coolant temp codes were
thrown.

I\u2019ve got a new project wanting a 22-25kw single
phase 120/240vac water cooled propane sound
attenuated generator for an off grid situation. I\u2019m
not going to be<br class="">
With AGS activation.<br class="">

I\u201dve been looking at the Kohler 24 RCL ( meets all
the above criteria) but I\u2019m checking to see if I can
get it to work with 2 wire AGS.<br class="">
<br class="">
Onan also has one as well.<br class="">

Are there any other make/models that people would
recommend or would caution me against?<br class="">
